On July 28, 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed ABX4 2 (Chapter 2, Statutes of 2009-10 Fourth Extraordinary Session). In Section 28, this bill stops all work on instructional materials adoptions and curriculum framework revisions effective immediately and continuing until the 2013-14 school year. The pertinent section of the bill states:

60200.7. Notwithstanding Sections 60200 and 60200.1, the state board shall not adopt instructional materials or follow the procedures adopted pursuant to Sections 60200 and 60200.1 until the 2013-14 school year.

Senate Bill 70 (Chapter 7 of the Statutes of 2011) extended that suspension until the 2015-16 school year.
